Diabolical Digital ID Despotism?
(A Word for Australia) 21.5.2024
(Revelation 13: 16-18).”He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of man: His number is 666.”
Introduction
Last week at 4.47pm on Thursday, 16 May 2024 in Australia an act of infamy occurred in Parliament House, Canberra. Despite the pleas of tens of thousands of Australians, the Albanese Labor socialist left-wing Government in Parliament voted for and pushed through the Digital ID Bill. The real purpose of this Bill has been kept under wraps as it were. The official government line released to the mainstream media outlets, which the government controls, will be that that this bill safeguards the online security and welfare of every Australian citizen.
However, there seems to be a diabolical aspect to this bill which will be made clear in this article. This Bill is the brain child of Bill Gates, a globalist whose foundation also financed the big pharmacy companies to produce the Covid ‘vaccines’ which in reality were not traditional vaccines. This is an issue in itself but not the subject of this article.
The WEF
Recently the World Economic Forum, a global godless organization with a globalist agenda, have a plan to eliminate cash and to introduce a total digital form of currency, something that has been fermenting now for many years but is now becoming a stark reality, especially for those who rely upon cash. The WEF are approaching leaders, not only in the western democracies, but in the Middle-Eastern nations as well. Added to this Asian countries are not excluded as we see in the case of China. The aim of the WEF organization is to globalise the world’s currency by bringing it into a digital format that eliminates cash altogether and no doubt that will be connected to digital ID’s as well.
It is no secret that the end-goal of the WEC is population control such as we see exemplified in the well-known book titled “1984” by George Orwell published back in the 1950’s. Orwell saw a future society completely indoctrinated by a centralised totalitarian despotic and deceitful system of government. This system of government had complete control over individual lives and was programming their minds to bring their thinking into line with the agenda and ideology of the despotic hierarchical regime of this centralised system of government. It was a beast of an empire!
Early last year the former Liberal Prime Minster of Australia Scott Morrison was interviewed and spoke via video to the WEF clearly seeing no problem it would seem associating with this organization. The WEF have their young trained operatives in many governments around the world today trained in the WEF ideology of global control and ensconced in the world of politics.
Saying goodbye to Cash
Now using cash bypasses surveillance of how people use their money. Today most people trust their banks to handle their money and the governments know this. A digital currency connected to a digital ID system opens the way for a form of control over people’s lives. Without access to their money people cannot buy or sell.
Let’s look at where Australia is going with this. To be blunt there is no doubt that Australia is now a post-Christian neo-pagan socialist country. It would seem that the Labor Government under Anthony Albanese is one that is coming into line with the goals and ambitions of the WEF and with China, that has in place their Social Credit System of governance over virtually every citizen in China with access to their personal lives, their banking, their health records and that monitors their every movement via digital facial recognition technology. In 1996, the Australian population allowed the Australian government, which was a Liberal government at the time under the Australian PM John Howard, to confiscate automatic and semi- automatic weapons across Australia reducing the ability of Australians to defend themselves in the event of an invasion by a foreign power.
The WHO Agenda
During the Coved ‘Pandemic’ the Morrison Liberal Federal government mandated vaccines even after the Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Australians publically that the vaccines would not be mandated. The so called Covid ‘Pandemic’ by and large, was more than likely an attempt to see how the world’s population would respond to a so called global ‘Pandemic.’ Now the WHO (World Health Organization) wants to enforce a global Pandemic Treaty which would give them the authority to declare a global pandemic that would lead global governments to enforce the WHO mandates on the population in their respective countries whether the people liked it or not it or not.
On a personal note, when I had Covid myself, not being vaccinated by a personal choice for very valid reasons, armed officers knocked on our door at home one afternoon to see if I was at home during the Covid restrictions forcing people to stay in our homes. Now in Australia no one hardly wears masks anymore, and one would think there had never been a so called ‘global’ pandemic at all! The seemingly ‘experiment’ in global control has gone into hibernation for now, but it will surface again in another ‘experiment’ in global population control. If the WHO gets their way with their Pandemic Treaty then something more diabolical may emerge at their behest and no one will be able to stop it.
“Towing the Party Line”
In the Australian Federal Labor government passing the bill in parliament to establish a digital ID system which most certainly be ultimately connected in reality to digital money bringing about a cashless society, in the long term would bring every Australian citizen under a centralised form of governmental control of an Orwellian nature. Eliminating cash would automatically allow the banks, regulated by the government, to have control over people’s money and if they had ID’s connected to their accounts then they could be censured by the government if they did not “tow the party line” as it were, as we see happening in Communist China. Not having a digital ID in place would mean that one would not be able to access their bank accounts; hence they could not buy or sell. At first the digital ID’s will be promoted as voluntary but this will change!
A Test Case
Australia it would seem is a test case for the globalist agenda and the WEF are involved in this. There was a recent photo in an online publication showing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese shaking hands with Bill Gates in relation to Bill’s proposed digital ID system which Anthony Albanese is bringing into Australia. In Australia we see ATM’s being closed down. The Australian Federal Labor government, in reality it would seem, want cash eliminated in order to control people through the digital banking system. This digital ID system will more than likely eventually morph into a system that will monitor every aspect of people’s lives with direct access to their bank accounts, health records, personal details of their lives in regards to what they purchase online, the websites they go to, and where they shop, and track their movements. The Digital ID will also substitute for passports.
The government will also seek to introduce a range of licenses which one will need to have to partake in certain activities and pleasurable pastimes and places. Non-compliance will mean restrictions as we saw enforced on those, who for very reasonable and personal reasons, did not want to be vaccinated, such as being banned from leaving their houses, entering places of entertainment, entering shops, restaurants and even visiting friends, family and relatives in hospital or in their private homes.
Personal Privacy?
This Digital ID system when fully implemented in Australia and made mandatory will give police access to people’s bank accounts, their social media accounts such as X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook and access to their health records and personal information and the ability to track their movements. Even drivers licences are now going digital. Once AI (Artificial Intelligence) connected to Digital ID’s is fully embraced by the Australian Labor government, there will be virtually no where to hide from the prying eyes of government surveillance that is Orwellian in nature. This is what is coming to Australia and to many countries around the globe. Eventually freedom of speech, handing out gospel tracts, evangelising on the streets, and every form of evangelism online on the internet in websites will be vetted or removed if deemed ‘offensive’ by the government, or labelled as ‘misinformation’.
A Matter of ‘Misinformation’?
In the Australian parliament the Albanese Labor Government are seeking to pass what they call this “Misinformation Bill” which is in realty is a rather ‘broad term’ that is open to government interpretation for censoring free speech that the government deems ‘harmful’ to society or ‘divisive’ in nature. This bill will see the mainstream media masking and even suppressing the truth as the government decides what they consider is ‘misinformation.’ Already our government has control over virtually all of the mainstream media outlets except for the independent ones that are still able to broadcast the truth without being censored. Whether it is Socialism, Marxism or Communism they all eliminate God from their ideology. Ultimately it would seem that a socialist minded government mind-set will eventually be birthed by the Australian Government’s Digital ID system once it has been fully activated. There was a time when Australia did have a Judeo-Christian heritage but now is rapidly becoming a socialist nation and by and large a neo-pagan society!
The Social Credit System
It would seem the Albanese Labor government is gearing up for a social credit system in Australia such as they have in China today. The social credit system is a national credit system and blacklist that has already been implemented in China. This social credit initiative calls for the establishment of a record system so that businesses, individuals and the activities of government institutions can be tracked and evaluated for so called ‘trust worthiness,’ or to be more precise to keep tabs on people who do not comply with government initiatives, ideology and mandates, and who do not comply with the government party line. It would also include rewards for compliance and penalties for non-compliance to government mandates.
‘In Bed’ with China!
In China you have CCTV surveillance everywhere, facial recognition that observes people walking down the street and in shops, malls, restaurants and whenever they leave their homes. CCTV cameras are even installed just outside of peoples’ front doors and if George Orwell was correct, the time will come when CCTV cameras will be in every room of people’s homes. Already in Churches in China that has this surveillance system operating there are CCTV cameras installed to make sure no minister preaches about the resurrection or the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus to set up His invisible kingdom on earth that will overthrow all human government. The preaching about the Messiah’s Second Coming to bring about a global government freaks out globalists and ungodly world leaders. Even meeting in underground churches fellowships is very difficult in China today, but God still supernaturally shelters multitudes of His people across the nation despite many being martyred and imprisoned, which our Lord Jesus said would be the case especially in these last of the last days in which we are now living (John 15:18-21) (Revelation 13: 5-7).
A Colony of China?
Australia then it seems in relation to the digital ID system is actually heading down this road of population surveillance and control. China is “waiting in the wings” as it were, to see what happens with the Elections in the US in November. Taiwan is still in China’s sights and if Australia goes down the same path as China with its digital surveillance and ID system, then it is highly probable that the Australian socialist minded Labor party will roll out the red carpet to china at the behest of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Co. Unless we see a spiritual revival within the Australian churches and a return to Biblical authority living and doctrine in society, then Australia is destined to become a socialist left-wing surveillance nation and possibly a colony of China?
The Harbinger
The Digital ID system may well be the harbinger of the mark of the last beast empire (Revelation 13:16-18). Today we see China and Russia becoming global super powers and seeking some form of rapport between Xi Jinping and Putin and the real possibility of America becoming a regional power only if missiles from the north hit American cities. However, the real threat to western democracy is Islam, a beast empire rising up out of the ashes and is dominating the globe. If the Antichrist is indeed a Muslim, which I am inclined to think he will be, then everyone within his empire, which will be vast beyond any empire in past history, will eventually have to make a choice, Christ or the Antichrist, or the cross or the crescent? Could it be that this ‘mark’ within the Islamic empire may well be a very advanced form of a very small, very advanced microchip imbedded below the skin that has in it one’s personal details including the Islamic statement of faith, a Caliphate that demands submission of all of its subjects within the realm of its vast empire to the supreme Caliph? The Islamic world is not backwards in technology. Time will tell if this will be the case with Islam spreading globally like gangrene. The ‘tentacles’ of Islamic ideology and militancy are spreading through the western democracies today.
God still has everything under Control!
In all of these matters we need to always keep in our thoughts and hearts that God still has everything under control, and He does you know! He can do all things and no purpose of His can be thwarted by man (Job 41:2) (Matthew 19:26) (Luke 1:37) (Mark 10:27) (Luke 18:27). God calls the shots! He exults one and puts down another, and also exults Kings and deposes them at His will (Psalm 75:7) (Daniel 2:21a). His purposes stand!
As He Himself declares through the prophet Isaiah; “Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose,’ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it” (Isaiah 46:9-11).
The Digital ID system of global proportions is coming to Australia. It cannot be avoided. All of us use credit cards at present as well as cash, yet we still have a great deal of freedom from this governmental system which ultimately could become Diabolical Digital ID Despotism, but things are changing. The Albanese Federal Labour government it would seem is looking at what is happening in China. Australia is in deep debt financially with businesses going to the wall which also would indicate a recession is looming. Could it be that things will deteriorate economically in Australia and see the current Federal Labor government do a financial and economical deal of sorts with China that will financially bail out Australia?
Of course with China there would also be strings attached. The present socialist, left-wing Federal government of Australia, I am inclined to think, would have no qualms about doing a deal of sorts with China to save their own necks financially and politically such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative which Daniel Andrews tried to bring into the state of Victoria under the radar of the then Federal Liberal government, a proposed deal with China that the Morrison Federal Liberal government vetoed. Now in Australia even the Liberal party politicians by and large are in favour of this digital ID system, but do they see the possible diabolical nature of this despotic totalitarian system of government becoming a form of population control?
Preparing for the Future
As New Covenant believers in Australia how then can we prepare ourselves for the spiritual storm that is soon to hit us hard? No country in fact will be able to escape this diabolical digital ID despotism connected to a cashless society and ultimately it will work against faithful Bible believing New Covenant believers. What can we do as those who are under the Lordship of the Messiah our Lord Jesus? I would like to suggest six things we can implement right now if we are not already engaged in these activities as the Body of Messiah, the faithful Church, in our walk with our Triune God and with our fellow brothers and sisters in Messiah.
1. We need to keep our personal relationship with the Lord fresh
Before anything we need to keep our personal relationship fresh with the Lord every day and seek to walk moment by moment in step with the Holy Spirit during the day’s activities and that by faith, not by our feelings which are changeable at the best of times. Walking by faith in our Triune God pleases Him and He rewards us for doing this (2 Corinthians 5:6-7) (Hebrews 11:1, 6). Our feelings may change according to our fluctuating circumstances, however, God’s Word will say the same thing tomorrow as it does today, because His Word and their promises to us is eternally settled in heaven and will never change (Psalm 119:19).
2. We need to be fixing our eyes on our spiritual heritage and rewards
We have a spiritual heritage and unimaginable rewards in the unseen spiritual realm kept in heaven for us that we cannot see, and in light of this we are not to focus on the things we see in this world which are changeable and temporary in nature and can affect us emotionally, mentally, and even physically (Romans 8:24) (John 14:2-3).
As the apostle Peter writes; “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5).
As Rabbi the apostle Paul also writes; “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day, for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
3. We need to be fixing our eyes on our Lord Jesus the author and perfector of our faith
We need to recon the fact that our Lord Jesus is the author and perfector (finisher) of our faith, and that what He starts in us by His Spirit He fully intends to finish where we, as His brothers and sisters are concerned, whom He has redeemed by His atoning blood, are confident of this, that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Messiah Jesus returns for us. (Hebrews 12:1-3) (Ephesians 1:7) (Philippians 1:5-7).
4. We need to keep before us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord
We need to keep before our eyes the fact that even if we suffer and die in this life for the Lord Jesus we will be absent from the body and at home in the presence of the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). Some of us are destined for alienation from society, loss of employment, emotional, mental and physical oppression, imprisonment and even some for martyrdom, however God in eternity in His loving, wise and infinite foreknowledge for our welfare before we were born has already ordained our days for us written in His book even before they came to be (Psalm 139:16).
If the time comes to get on the train to martyrdom, and to finally enter heaven after we physically die, then at the moment we board the train, God will give us the ticket to arrive at our final destination and spiritually strengthen us on our journey into His presence. If martyrdom is God’s foreordained purpose for us then we will know God’s mighty blessing when the time comes to suffer for the name of His Son, and the Spirit and glory of God will rest mightily upon us! (1 Peter 4:12-14).
5. We need to be meeting regularly for fellowship worship and prayer
Today we see the end of the age rapidly approaching with global anti-Semitism rising against Israel and which will ultimately also rise up against the Body of Messiah spiritually grafted into Israel (Revelation 12:1-6, 13-17) (Romans 11:17-18). Fellowship around the Word of God, around the Lord’s Table and exercising spiritual gifts to encourage, to exhort and edify one another, and being willing to share our resources with those in need in the fellowship, and pooling our skills, must be the No.1 priority and focus for the Messiah’s assemblies if we are to survive the spiritual storm that lies ahead as we see the end of this present age rapidly approaching (Acts 2:42-47; 4:29-35).
The believers in Acts did this every day because they knew that the Temple would be destroyed and the City of Jerusalem ransacked as the Lord Jesus had predicted. Their hope was not in the religious system even though it was still the Judaism of Moses and Torah, nor in this world. Around 40 years after the prediction of these events by the Lord Jesus the Romans destroyed the temple and ransacked Jerusalem in 70AD. However, the faithful Body of Messiah were spared as Simeon, the Bishop at Jerusalem who had replaced James whom Herod had killed with the sword, led the believers out of the city during a lull in the Roman siege of Jerusalem, and were supernaturally protected by the Lord as they walked through the Roman lines and led to Petra where they were protected from the prying eyes of Rome.
6. We need to be seeking the Holy Spirit’s power to keep us faithful
We need to be seeking God’s enabling power through His Holy Spirit in us to constantly keep us from spiritual deception, from the love of money and possessions, to keep us from the lust of the eyes for fame and for fortune and popularity in this world. To keep us from the lust of the flesh, which entice us to indulge our sinful appetites and desires, and to keep us from the pride of life in what we possess and achieve in this life knowing that the things of this world pass away, but that doing the Word and the will of our God remains forever, and furthermore, knowing and having the deep assurance as well that we can be as strong as the will of God is strong! (Isaiah 40:7-8) (1 John 2:16-17). As it is written; “the people who do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32).
The ‘Mark’ will come
The mark of the beast is coming and in the light of current events we will more than likely see it come about in our lifetime if we are still living in this body and not at home with the Lord in heaven. We need to ask God to give us His wisdom to recognise this ‘mark’ when it fully manifests itself. The current credit cards we use do not have the advanced digital ID technology that is now being set in place in Australia and it seems the removal of ATM’s and eventually the elimination of cash itself will force everyone to embrace the advanced digital ID technology. Cards get bent, cards get lost, cards can be used fraudulently, however, if one has a very small technologically advanced microchip inserted under the skin in the right arm or the forehead then they, and their personal information, will be secure but its personal information open to government scrutiny.
It is important to keep in mind that digital ID’s are also being considered and embraced by Islamic countries as well as in the west. Today we see the beast empires of China and Russia striding across the face of the earth; however the first Beast Empire that had seemingly received a mortal wound by the sword but is being resurrected in the second Beats Empire is the global spread of Islam.
Mobilization of Nations
As a closing thought, it may well be that the northern hemisphere of the globe will be primarily dominated by Islam except China which will not tolerate Islam, and the southern hemisphere primarily dominated by China and Russia in cahoots with one another, but America becoming only a regional power. Time will tell of course if this is the scenario we see occurring on the international stage of global events concerning these nations. Having said this, Australia is an Island that is isolated from other nations and if the US elections produce a leader after the likes of Biden it’s more than likely we will see China makes its move against Taiwan and expands its empire in the South pacific region. The Australian socialist, left-wing Federal Labor government, with a possible diabolical digital ID despotic system in place as we see in China, the Australian Federal Labor government may well roll out the red carpet for Xi Jinping when China expands its empire into the South Pacific Region!
A Certain and Radiant Hope
Our certain and radiant hope in these last of the last days as blood justified, blood redeemed, blood cleansed, blood protected, blood sanctified New Covenant believers in the Messiah our Lord Jesus is not in this world. We are to keep our eyes lifted upwards, looking for the great and glorious Second Coming of our great God and Saviour Himself who will rescue us from the coming wrath of God and bring us with Him into His Messianic Millennial kingdom on earth at the end of this present age, and ultimately into the New Jerusalem, the eternal heavenly city, which will descend from heaven to earth when the Millennium has come to its close.
“I AM Making All Things New”
As the apostle John writes; “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And He who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new (Revelation 21:1-5a).”
“In the Twinkling of an Eye”
The diabolical digital ID despotism with all that it produces will come, and so will the mark of the beast system of government also come, whatever that final ‘mark’ will be, but so will the Kingdom of God come to earth with great power and glory when the Messiah our Lord Jesus comes back and if, whether we are still alive on earth, or our spirit is in heaven, we will not all sleep but all be changed, in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet most certainly will sound, the dead will be raised, and we will be changed! (1 Corinthians 15:51-52). In that day we will have a resurrected, glorified, indestructible immortal body, the same as our Lord Jesus has, and in this glorified body we will live forever and ever! (Philippians 3:21) As the apostle John writes; “Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Messiah is pure” (1 John 3:2-3).
